Hello,
I got my copy of Max Payne 3 today(disc version).
At first,my monitor went black with a 'Input signal out of range' message.I ran it in safe-mode,changed the graphical settings and all seemed well except for the fact that the game is running at 500fps+ 😱 and everything looks stretched as hell.Max looks obese and short.I changed the in-game resolution to 1600x900 @60Hz (My monitor's default setting),added command-lines like -width 1600 -height 900,fullscreen,forced the aspect ratio to 16:9 but nothing changed.I then tried changing the settings in the graphics.xml file in user documents but again,dead end!Rockstar's auto-updater is showing 0 downloads lined up.I am at my wit's end.I searched rockstar's support site for 3 hours and the internet for 4,but apart from an unofficial fix,nothing turned up.(I don't want to use that because it may render the game useless.) GPU (HD 6850)usage is also low,about 500MB(MSI AfterBurner).Any help on fixing this resolution problem will be sincerely appreciated.

Buddy, you're getting too many issues! I'd suggest you uninstall the game, delete any/ all files left behind after the uninstall and THEN reinstall it.

As for Chapter IX, I had the same issue but managed to be done with it after several tries. At first, even I thought it was a bug but then when I managed to get past it (after a considerable amount of frustration, if I may add!!!), it was all smooth.

Is your game patched/ updated? If not, do that. If it still happens, go with the reinstalling option. All the best!
Haha,buddy,my game was fixed the day I re-installed it.Plus other patches by Rockstar have helped improve the stability of the game.Your method may help other people but for me,I have completed the game multiple times.:) Thank you ,btw.:)
